Transferring schools is not easy/most schools do not take well to it as they all have different course progressions.. I would say stick with it, it will prepare you to deal with adversity in the workplace in the future.

Pre-accreditation status just means when you graduate you will need to complete additional paperwork for licensure.. if it comes down to saving money I would go with the most affordable.

Time off can actually be a strong point of an application. It is all in how you spent that time, the fact that you still have the motivation to pursue a masters degree says a lot! I took 2 years off before reapplying and worked in a pre-school and retook some classes (your GPA is much stronger than mine was when I graduated). During interviews I was asked how I felt my "break years" benefitted me and the application committee seemed understanding of my reasoning that I needed a break from the craziness and pressure of undergrad because I wanted to put my best foot forward during grad school. Volunteering in any form, especially in a setting somewhat related to the field, is important to have on a resume.

E-mail them if you have interviewed or if you have been waitlisted.. they are inundated with e-mails especially during this time

Trust me I feel this, I applied my senior year and did not get in anywhere. All of my roommates got into SLP graduate programs and I had to really think about what to do with myself. I ended up working at a preschool for 2 years, considered numerous other careers and ultimately realized that just because I didn't get in the first round didn't mean I had to change my career path. Long story short, I retook some courses I didn't do that great in at a college near me. I was able to do really well in these courses, which showed I was determined and motivated. I ended up being accepted at the program, which has an amazing reputation and now I am happier then ever that things didn't "work out" according to my original plan. I know it is hard to hear when you are going through it but everything really does work out how it should, just persevere and remain positive!

I believe there's a little bit of leeway in terms of when they can submit their letters, it's not due the same time as your application but there is definitely a timeframe where your entire application including materials need to be received. I would definitely send a "friendly" reminder email or two.

For your personal statement, if you are using CSDCAS it is likely that you will not have the space to spare for this citation, I used a quote in mine and just said "quote" as said by whoever and it was fine.

I'm almost 99% sure that's why I got into my program of choice. I discussed language and how it, essentially, makes up your entire daily life. I also was able to discuss my future ambitions as an SLP. I definitely think it is important and also an area to show you are able to concisely answer a question and not go off on tangents.

Apply to where you received your bachelor's, they know you better than anyone blindly reading your application.

So far, the statistics I have had to use have to do with determining scores and how many standard deviations they fall from the mean. Which you can do if you know simple math. I know my program has a CAPSTONE for second-year students in order to graduate but I have no idea what it entails honestly.

I would go with the Spanish professor. It's good to come across as a "well-round" person in other academic areas besides speech. Always go with the person that can attest to more than just your in-classroom personality.

It's always worth a shot, grades aren't what define a person and that's why programs have interviews, to get to know the person behind the grades a little bit more. I would definitely get a letter or two from professors as I know in the program I'm in now they won't even look at applications that don't have atlas two LORs from previous professors. Good luck, stay positive!

I would think that programs you apply to would be able to see or find out this information.
